Arrival of The Queen of Sheba

[MrSinghSAmit]

Vow..

[propertyofranger]

I am struck aghast. I never believed I'd hear anyone do this justice on the harp, but I have now been proved wrong. What an astounding performance, especially with no warm up! You have brightened my whole day - thank you!

[Grobanite122549]

beautiful :) we are playing this piece for Orchestra this year, of course i dont play harp, i play violin. :)

My mom is learning the harp tho! :D

[wylltwalia]

Darganfod hwn heddiw,  Gwych.

Diolch.

[19ramman85]

Well Glenda, if it's any consolation to ya ...... you did a mighty-fine job, especially compared to me! lol

You're a 1st rate harp player!

-CHARLES

[tripleleo]

Thanks for brightening my shitty day with this great music

[tmkharp]

Great job, Glenda

Can you tell me where you got the music for Queen of Sheba?

I couldn't find it on harp.com.

By the way I like your music selections on youtube. They're up-lifting repertoire.

[Francisco358]

me encanta el tema! te da mucho animo por las mañanas cuando te da fiaca en levantarte

[ronorocks]

wow. stress reliever ..

[NlHILIST]

a welcome feast for ears and eyes ... thank you!

[xpymando]

Thanks again

[typesoontv]

waw

[yatlung]

awesome

[cowlikesbeef]

heaven could use someone like you!

[demenascus]

Wow you are really great !! I don't think that the angels up there are listening to something as pretty as this :)

I lived in Ireland some years ago (where Harp is quite popular) and I have never heard somebody playing like this ..Felicitations!

[OctoDunn]

I love the sound of the harp. And this is played absolutely fantastically. Im not even aware of the 'odd mistake'. Are you sure there's one?

[termite66]

This is beautiful! I am trying to play it from a piano score, it's much harder. Whose arrangement is this?

[TessChickenwing]

This piece is lovely. This tune is my grans favorite and she asked me if I would have it played at my wedding. I then found this harp version and as its her favorite instrument I will be using it.

[hyperhotie]

beautiful... i played that in a orchestra as a 2nd violin and its really hard.. i bet its harder to play on the harp

[Zukikipu]

Magnifica! Bellisima!

[Zukikipu]

Magnifica! What virtuosity! Mr. Nicanor Zabaleta himself would have been breathless. 

[hartwellangel]

gorgeous performance

:)

[GothFaery65]

that is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!! i play, and i wouldn't be able to do that in a million years- out of this world ability-

[williamlovejr]

hello, how long have you been playing the harp? i would love to learn how to play it.

[lihardo31]

Great....

it's so cool....

[Lythoc]

thanx for posting

[clindt]

! not warming up!

[clindt]

?without warming up! I am sure that Händel would not need any extra heat listening and watching you play.

[specialtheatres]

wonderful!!!!

[TaiwanTaipel]

Good performance!!

[Thying1]

Excellent!!! I like this video!!

[o0JeKaZaMi0o]

This is so awesome. It sounds so light, and still it has the strength of an entire orchestra i can see before me :)

Thumbs up!

[Bentleyboy81]

Bravo!

[platinumplusenter]

Thank you, just amazing.

[malpen04]

The harp is such a beautiful instrument and I don't think it's easy to learn but you sure know how to play it, lady.

A well deserved 5*****

[vakibs2]

You deserve to be playing for Zeus on the Olympus :) brilliant !!

[Lyssiann]

I felt like applauding at the end of this, but I didn't since you wouldn't hear my appreciation so I'm saying, "Good Job" how red were your fingers after?

[niksta1216]

Fantastic! I love this song and you do it all the justice in the world!

[nipponized]

Excellent. Now I get an idea of how they played the harp and lyre in Biblical days. The music is wonderful. Well done!

[MissMargot77]

bellissima!

[ekimekimekimekimm]

wow i wish i was even harp as good as you! amazang

[mcyjerry]

kudos! that's amazing! the harp arrangement is BEYOND PERFECT! :D

greetings from hong kong! :)

[sjokolade777]

Sehr schön aber vielleicht doch etwas zu schnell im Tempo...

[Bryanth898]

How appropriate a harp, with all of its its associations. Can this person be mortal? Surely, she is a goddess; she has to be, to produce such heavenly music.

[lililanto]

Wow...I wish I could have as much talent!

[BaronVonLichtenstein]

Pretty damn good.

[Peter1945]

Wonderful !

[myvenusharps]

I didn`t hear any mistakes! You are great and you inspire me.

[Dulleyes1]

Absolutely Brilliant, I Love all the classics and i don't think that they are played enough. :)

[Jewelwriter23]

Very beautiful playing, I admire your skill!

One of my favorite baroque peices!

[llanbradach]

if you play like that without a warm up then I would love to hear you play when you have warmed up, you play brilliant, this is my favourite Handel tune.

[TheJamesalden]

No need at all for an apology, at least from a listener's point of view, but as a fellow musician, I can understand where you're coming from, and yet, some of my best playing came from doing it, as it were, "right on the spot". But however, I so much have enjoyed it. Thank you!

[01BroadwayMagic]

the only way that you could notice that mistake is if you were trying to find it.

[tritonusgesang]

Eine brillante Leistung! - Kompliment! - Ich bin begeistert! :-)

[dabeananan1]

Glenda, you are ace!

[Harlekinopal]

Bin ganz hin und weg! Wundervoll!

[TheOfficialVideo]

I can play this on piano! (:

[PoemsOfTheSoul]

Absolutely beautiful !

You are so talented, I struggle to play one part on violin let alone all of them at once. Amazing - thankyou.

-Elena <33

[leoperarm]

My! You are so good!!

[Denuhm]

played very well I love it! where did you get the arrangement?

[Icsandbits]

That was amazing. I play the oboe in an orchestra in my county and we did this as a chamber music piece, so I appriciate how hard it is :D

[marciculo1990]

beautiful!!!!what is the name???thanks

[glynbrain]

GlendaClwyd, I read your apology in the top left hand corner of the screen, and of course I accept it. But please, if you decide to make another (more perfect) recording of this piece, don't delete this one. It's one of my favourites and I have a permanent link to it on my desktop. Thanks.

(love your Maple Leaf Rag as well)

[Harlekinopal]

Fantastisch! Begeisterung pur!

[aerocutiegirl87]

this is the best i have ever heard!!! it is soo simply beautiful, calm, flawless, and perfect. she deserves an award for awesome playing!

[Thying1]

[iiohn18]

[TheJordiii]

egolatre

[Kiddfan777]

[Moothereporter]

Handel would be proud.

[LaCarusiella]

How many years of training do you have?Looks like a terribly hard piece,I guess you are professional,I mean I would kill to play the harp like that!

[SergeantTroy]

Perfect

[bamboocuting]

Amazing!!

[yougosquishnow]

It must be hard going through life being this talented. I am in awe. Probably the most beautiful piece in history played perfectly on a harp!

[ToolTimeWithTim]

Very VERY nice. You have such agile fingers. I wish I had talent like that! You should see me trip all over myself trying to play scales :P

[VN808]

Sooooooo beautiful melodies and performance!

[mic303]

can i marry you

[SuperSageSire]

I saw her first

[indigoblue555]

A tiptoe arrival.... :):)

[DNARevolutions]

Just wondering, if you play the harp for a long amount of time, do your fingers turn all red and starting hurting? Or is the harp's strings designed to stop that? I play the violin and I pluck the strings a lot. (Bad habit I guess) And after a while, my fingers start hurting obviously.

[asianmeastro]

lol i play violin too! and to answer your question the harps sting is not made like our string, its made of nylon or sumtimes silf so it feels nice to pluck, our strings on the other hand is made of metal so its freaking hurts after awhile when you rplucking on the E string :) hope i answered you quesiton

[bamatommy]

One of the most beautiful melodies in the history of humanity.

[Gillyyorkie]

Oh my God ! Arrival of the Queen of Sheeba on a harp?. This ROCKS such talent magical fingers ! Thanks for posting this it is awesome !

[Salmagundiii]

I agree, it's fantastic!

[MsRizza]

I've wanted to play the harp since I was little but there were no teachers in my area. So I never learned how to play but I love the music! I'm glad you posted this video so I can listen to it whenever I want! You make it look so easy too.

[ryry125]

[midnasakura]

[filsuf]

Beautiful!! I wanna transcribe it for my instrument too now ;) .. the Guitar! Can you tell me what is the name of the opera? Or just the original score that you use in case you did it yourself (say, from a piano transcription).

Anyway ... great music!!

[GWAR1018]

It's Solomon by Handel

[amontis]

Wonderful. Never heard it transcribed the Harp.

[jeverett81]

[abrown2986]

Impressive :)

[contessabrilliante]

First of all, you must NOT "apologise for the odd mistake" or any mistakes! You are totally amazing! How many of the viewers do you think can spot your mistakes anyways. those that play harp or any instrument, as a matter of fact know full well what it took for you to atchieve what you have. You worked HARD! I KNOW. You are magnifiscent. Now, be PROUD!

[lasalleman]

Oh Welsh goddess of music and joy. Play on, forever....

[bamatommy]

Outstanding job. A beautiful performance of a beautiful song. Bravo!

[maquetu]

Impresionante. Me ha emocionado. Muy bien interpretado y con mucho gusto. Bravo¡¡¡

[grimpano]

This song? Do you know that it is a part of a handel oratorio?

[firefly4tori]
